Yesterday I had adopted a kitten (seems just a few weeks, no more than 5) from these kids trying to help them since they were stray and it just broke my heart. I have only had dogs so I dont know too much about cats\kittens. The first thing i had done was try to feed him so I had given him "special kitty" canned wet food. He ate it right up though, I dont know if it was because he hadnt eaten in days (acted if it was his last meal) or it was good. If anyone can answer these questions I'd be very greatful.
1. Is it ok that he is eating canned wet food, or what should I feed him?
2. I know to have baby wipes to simulate going potty, but how and when should I wipe him?
3. Since he is so tiny and young I dont expect him to use the litter box, but when and how do I get him to?
4. He meows a lot when he has to poop, is something wrong?
5. I know with all babies regular milk is a huge no-no, but is water ok for him? (he dips his mouth in but I dont know if its ok, but I also dont want to dehydrate him)
6. His poop is fairly soft, not watery or diahrea, but its not very solid either, does this mean something is wrong?
So far after he had eaten and napped, he is very playful and interactive (a good sign in my eyes) but as I was feeling him, I had noticed he was very very boney. Ususally that means they are mal-nurished but I was wondering the best way to go about getting him what he needs. I might not know much about cats, but I'm willing to take any advice to be able to give him the care that he needs, and to be sure he is happy.
Thank you for your time reading this, and advice is welcome =)
